The dead body of the Azerbaijani officer, retrieved last week in a buffer zone close to Armenia’s state border, was returned to the country on Tuesday afternoon through the mediation of the ICRC mission.

An earlier investigation revealed that the deceased was a company commander who deserted a military unit after a reported criminal offense.

The body was found on Thursday by servicemen of the Armed Forces of Armenia.
